Swedish Galleon Vasa

The warship Vasa was built in 1625 by order of King Gustav II Adolf of Sweden. On 10 Aug. 1628 Vasa lifted the anchors for the first time in good weather. The first stronger gust of wind caused the ship to capsize about 1,300 metres after setting sail. After its rediscovery in 1957 the ship could be salvaged in good condition as a whole. The ship was preserved and restored in an elaborate process and has been on display at the Vasa Museum in Stockholm since 1990.

Mississippi Steamship Robert E.Lee

The 1866 ship mostly sailed the route from New Orleans to Natchez, Mississippi. In a memorable race of 1870 over 2,100 km between the Robert E. Lee and the Natchez, the Robert E. Lee won this course in 3 days 18 hours and 14 minutes, just before the rival. After 16 years of service a fire broke out in the early hours of 1882 and destroyed the ship.
